Hopefully, he is receiving antibiotics and antiparasitic medicine.
Parasites can be causing the bleeding and I believe that an infection can also cause the bleeding.
The most important things are giving him his medicines and making sure he is getting enough water to drink.
You can also increase the basking temperature by about 3 degrees Celsius/5 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is also good to review his care and be certain that everything else is correct.

I haven't read the whole thread but if it hasn't been mentioned before you could give him bug juice. Take your crickets and some supplement and blend them down. Strain it and give with eye dropper or syringe. It will be easier for him to digest with legs etc taken out. You will also be able to give him fluids that way too. Good luck.

Can I suggest you use his uv 12 hrs on 12 hrs off . if I understand you correctly you are not using on just now while he is sick? He will have bruising if you have to force feed but at this stage it is necessary. If I massage my ones mouth at the corners. He will open up. You could try gently opening it with the edge of a credit card.
